Is absinthe over?

According to this amusing article in this mornings Sunday NYT it is. Being compared to the band Interpol, laceless Converse sneakers, and a soul patch as author Eric Konigsberg did can never be good PR......"If absinthe were a band, it would be Interpol, third-hand piffle masquerading as transgressive pop culture. If absinthe were sneakers, it would be a pair of laceless Chuck Taylors designed by John Varvatos for Converse. If it were facial hair, it would be the soul patch."

Sauce- as if we needed to be reminded why this is one of the greatest drinking cities in the world, right?! I do agree with your comments on the process. There is something very anticipatory about it. Like something good is about to happen!
